FERREIRA PROJECTS_01 is an exciting new artist in residence programme based within the FERREIRA PROJECTS gallery whereby artists are invited to use the studio space to develop a significant body of work for exhibition at the gallery.

FERREIRA PROJECTS_01 was developed as part of FERREIRA PROJECTS’S ongoing goal to improve accessibility and participation by involving the viewer in the whole artistic process. It will allow the viewer the rare opportunity of seeing an artist conceive, research and develop their work before viewing the final outcomes at exhibition. The viewer will also be encouraged to engage in conversation with the artist about their work, through a number of different channels. The public programme, which may include artists’ talks, workshops and gallery visits, are developed in conjunction with each individual artist during the residency period.

FERREIRA PROJECTS is also committed to providing a platform for promising young artists to show their work. The residency furthers this aim by affording the artist an opportunity to develop work as part of an ongoing critical dialogue between artists, designers and members of the public. It also allows the artist the time and space necessary to develop their work to the highest possible standard, by providing rent-free use of the studio for the duration of the residency.
